US troops capture four militants
US troops have captured four militants suspected of firing rockets at a base in a restive southeast border area dubbed âthe most evil place in Afghanistan,â a US military spokesman said on Friday. âCoalition forces brought under control four suspected anti-coalition militia in response to a rocket attack near Shkin firebase,â Lt Col Bryan Hilferty told reporters. The four, whose identities or affiliations were not revealed, were captured on Thursday. âThey fired a rocket at us, we sent a patrol and we found them at the vicinity of the rocket launch site,â Hilferty said.
